When the Great War ends, Serena risks everything. Her dying mother has confided a secret to her, which means she can't stay with her bullying father. She's been waiting to turn thirty and come into her inheritance, but she hadn't known he'd stolen her money, or how desperate he would be to bring her back and keep the secret safe. Justin's life has also been changed by the war. His injuries will get better, but due to his cousins' deaths he has unexpectedly inherited a crumbling old house, the care of his elderly aunt and a very little money. When he stops men from kidnapping Serena in the street, he couldn't have guessed it would bring him love - or put his life in danger. How will the two of them survive a wicked man's desperate attacks?
